My wife and I got to know John as he was my Dad's roommate in the VA nursing home.
We really enjoyed talking to John and listening to his stories in our weekly visits to see my Dad. I know my Dad really liked John and they both were a hand full to handle. We are saddened to hear of his passing. May God bless the Granger family in your time of sorrow.
